HIGH POINT, N.C. – The Coker College women's tennis team earned a top five spot in the 2012 Conference Carolinas Women's Tennis Preseason Coaches Poll released on Tuesday. The Cobra women were slated for the fifth position according to the voting cast by league coaches.

The Coker women will be a strong contender in Conference Carolinas this season with the return of all but one player from 2011, including the Conference Player of the Year, Alyssa Blanchard. The senior played No. 1 singles and doubles for the Cobras in 2011, losing just six matches total (11-2 singles, 10-4 doubles).
